BAXTER BUNNY - 9 YEARS OLD - REST IN PEACE

Today Baxter had to be put to rest.

He has had rear leg problems and surgeries and was beginning to totally be unable to care for himself or get around much. We tried and tried, but he got worse and worse. He still was happy, fairly pain-free, and had a great appetite! So off he has gone to a happier place before he had to suffer much, and we are left to deal with our huge loss.

Zoey will also have a big adjustment to make and we will give her extra cuddles and care.

I am so sorry that Baxter had to go. I know how hard it is when we have to say good by to these little ones. It's been six months since I held my Periwinkle while the vet helped him across the Bridge and there is still an empty spot in my heart. I was just getting over the loss of our Bobbin, a good, gentle bun who was a shy sweetheart, when my beloved Periwinkle had to leave us.

Baxter had a wonderful life while he was with you. I'm sending hugs to all of you. Give Zoey lots of extra hugs and cuddles while she adjusts.

i'm so sorry for your loss, rg and bl. baxter was incredibly lucky to have you guys as his bunny slaves, and i will miss seeing his wonderful bunny cheeks on this blog. cuddles for zoey, i hope she's doing okay.

Thank you for not letting him suffer! My Tucker Bunz and my Beagle Poky will run to meet him with the rest of the crowd at the bridge! I am so sorry for your loss and for Zoey's. My thoughts are with you.

We're so sorry to hear about Baxter. He did have a wonderful life at the House of Rabbits and made a lot of new friends, some of whom he never met. Parting is never easy, for any of those involved. Enjoy the clover, Baxter Bunny.

Oh, no, RG and BL and Zoey! Tom and Pink and Peaches and Elvis and I are so very, very sad for you all. Bunnyman and Tidbit and so many others were waiting at the bridge to show him the ropes and run in the clover.

I am so sorry for your loss, but I think Baxter was probably excited to finally see Lovey again after all this time apart. Baxter has many friends at the Bridge and they're probably throwing a huge blowout bash all weekend long, to welcome him.

We are so sorry for your loss. Its so tough to make these decisions. Baxter was a lucky boy to live with you and Zoey for so long, and be surrounded by such love. Hugs and prayers to you, Zoey, and Baxter.

Oh no. We are so sad to hear about Baxter, but consoled that he had such a wonderful family and great friends at the Houseful of rabbits. My heart just sunk on seeing the blog title. Sigh.Hugs to you allLisa and Buttons xxx

I read about your loss while I was away, but couldn't respond until I got home (my phone has web capacity, but it no like word verification stuff much). So very sorry to hear of Baxter's passing, but glad to know that you spared him the possibility of much suffering. You are all in thoughts and prayers, and Mickey and I will be sending extra special thoughts out to Baxter as he moves on to his next adventures.

We're so sorry to hear about Baxter but at the same time, glad that he will no longer be in pain. Hugs to RG, BL and Zoey.. losing a beloved one is always so very sad :( Hans will show Baxter around the Bridge.

I read your blog often and love seeing pics of your beautiful bunns. I just wanted to say sorry for your loss, losing bunnies is just awful, but I'm glad he lived most of his life in such a happy place.
